Metro-Style app "talks" to a standard .exe program

Question

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to make a metro style app written in HTML5/Javascript communicate with an existing C# or VB.NET program?

I have a C# program that communicates with custom hardware over a USB port. Can I simply create a metro-style app that talks to my C# program "behind the scenes" for purposes of exchanging data? I can add additional code to my existing C# application, but
I do not want to re-create that program from scratch as a metro-app. I just want a quick and dirty way of sharing real-time data between a metro-app and a Form-based program.
